Convert table of command-line options into list
Before this change, USAGE.md had an HTML table that contained documentation for all of Descent 3’s command-line options. A concern was raised that an HTML table might not be easy to read if someone downloaded Descent 3 and opened USAGE.md in a plain text editor [1]. This commit alleviates that concern by converting the HTML table into bulleted lists. Credit for this idea goes to @Lgt2x [2]. The main motivation behind this change is to help get #623 merged.
